As a visitor on a photo site I want a random photo uploaded in the recent week to be displayed in the sidebar. This is important since it helps me find photos I otherwise would have missed.

The functionality above can be achieved by the following steps:

• A node type for photos, containing images (such as the article node type).
• A new node view, with the name random image. In the quick-wizard, the block is checked (while page is left unchecked), and the block is set to display one result only.
• In the main configuration panel, a filter fields: field_image – fid ("file ID") is added to filter out nodes where the relevant image field is empty.
• Another filter content: post date is added, configured to only display nodes posted the most recent week.
• A new view field fields: field_image is added, displaying the content of the relevant image field in a style that fits the websites sidebar. The view field for node title, automatically added by the quick-wizard, is removed.
• The use pager is inspected, to assure that only one result is displayed, without any pager.
• A new sort criteria global: random replaces the one added by default, to allow selecting a random image.
• The view is saved, and the site's block settings are updated to display the new block in a suitable region.
